Lakewood is creating an updated plan for its public art program, and we want to hear from you!
Public art serves a unique role in our communities. It is accessible for all, free of charge, and can provoke discussion. It also creates memorable spaces, celebrates our cultural, heritage and history, and connects communities. Public art provides a platform for artists, and creative expression, creates engaging experiences and contributes to the local economy.

Public Art in Lakewood
Arts and culture are essential and integral to Lakewood. Since the public art program’s inception in 1995, more than 50 permanent works of art have been installed across the city, while also annually exhibiting temporary sculpture through the Art on the Commons program. Lakewood continues to recognize the positive role of visual arts and the value of public art for the community.
Lakewood adopted its first Public Art Master Plan in 2013. We are beginning the process to engage with the community to update the plan and help envision and guide the future of the city’s public art program for the next 10 years. Over the next several months, we will host community conversations and ask for input and feedback to help shape the future of public art in Lakewood. The Connect. Discover. Create. Lakewood Public Art Plan will include a vision, goals and best practices. It will also identify opportunities to enhance the community’s experience of public art. Track our progress through the project timeline.
How can you get involved?
Community engagement is key to this planning process. What types of art do you appreciate? Where would you like to see more public art? We plan to pose these and other questions to the community and we want to hear from you!
